Blame it on what you've been through
Blame it on what you're into
Blame it on your religions
Blame it on politicians
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
It's our condition
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
Our detonation
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
I have no generation
Show me my motivation
One world one desperation
One hope and one salvation
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
It's our condition
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
Our detonation
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
Look what a mess we've made of love
Look what a mess we've made of love
Look what a mess we've made
We've got ourselves to blame
Look what a bomb we've made of love
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
It's our condition
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
Our detonation
We've been blowing up
We're the issue
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
We're ammunition
We're ammunition
We are the fuse and ammunition
The ammunition

Dare You to Move
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before |

Redemption
Four A.M. two hours to go,
I'm wear'n out a lonely glow.
I miss you more than I could know.
Here I am, here I am,
won't you get me?
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than...these doubts of mine.
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive. Come to life...
With my fist all at your feet,
I was running out of mysteries.
Insecure and incomplete...
Here I am, Here I am
Won't you get me?
I've got my hands at redemption's side
Whose scars are bigger than...these doubts of mine.
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
It'll come alive. Come alive...
Alive...Come to life...
My fears have worn me out.
My fears have worn me out.
Yah, my fears have worn me out.
My fears have worn me, worn me...out
I've got my hands at redemption's side.
Whose scars are bigger than...these doubts of mine.
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside.
It'll come alive...
At redemption's side.
Bigger than, Bigger than...these doubts of mine
I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside
And come to life...Come to life |

Beautiful Letdown
It was a beautiful letdown
when I crashed and burned
when I found myself alone, unknown and hurt
it was a beautiful letdown
the day I knew
that all the riches this world had to offer me
would never do
In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in,
until I found out
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I will carry a cross and a song
where I don't belong
It was a beautiful letdown
when you found me here
yeah for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
thats what I'll forever be
and though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
we're still chasing our tails in the rising sun
in our dark water planet still spins in a race
where no one wins and no one's one
see I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I will carry a cross and a song
where I don't belong
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
kingdom come
Your kingdom come
won't you let me down yeah
let my foolish pride
forever let me down
easy living, you're not much like your name
easy dying, hey you look just about the same
would you please take me off your list
easy living, please come on and let me down
we are a beautiful letdown,
painfully uncool,
the church of the drop outs, the losers, the sinners,
the failures, and the fools
oh what a beautiful letdown
are we salt in the wound
and let us sing one true tune
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Feels like I don't belong here
Would you let me down
Come on and let me down
You always let me down
So glad that I'm let down
Come on and let me down
Cuz I don't belong to you
Please
Won't you let me down? |

Gone
She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
and upside down
Don't say so long, and throw your cell phone
Don't spin today away, cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge, infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
Don't say so long, you're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
Today will soon be
Gone, like yeterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal.
We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence
Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like Al Pachino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone,
my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.
Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age but do
We know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is more than what we are.

On Fire
They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you need to leave.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be.
But everything inside you
knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
filled with empty words
And you're on fire
when he's near you
You're on fire when he speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
give me one more chance to see,
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you.
When everything inside me
Looks like everything i hate
You are the hope i have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
And I'm on fire when you're near me
I'm on fire when you speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries.
I'm standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing at the edge of everything I've ever been
And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing
at the edge |

Adding to the Noise
What's it gonna take
to slow us down
to let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
to drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound.
Stepping out of those convenience stores
what could we want but more more more?
From the third world
to the corporate core
we are a symphony of modern humanity
If we're adding to the noise
turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, radio, video, i dunno
what they're gonna think of next
genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways
to fall into debt
I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet
that that T.V. set
tells us what we've wanted to hear
But none of these sound bites
are coming in clear
From the third world to the corporate ear
we are the symphony of modern humanity.
If we're adding to the noise
turn off this song
if we're adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, radio |

Twenty-four
24 oceans, 24 skies, 24 failures and 24 tries.
24 finds me in 24th place
with 24 dropouts at the end of the day.
Life is not what I thought it was 24 hours ago,
Still I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you.
And I'm not who I thought I was 24 hours ago,
Still I'm singin-spirit take me up in arms with you.
Its 24 reasons to admit that I'm wrong.
With all my excuses, still 24 strong
You see I'm not coping out, not coping out, not coping out-
when your raising the dead in me.
Chorus:
ooooo a oo oooo a oo
I am the second man
ooooo a oo oooo a oo
I am the second man now
ooooo a oo
I am the second man now
and your raising these
24 voices
With 24 hearts
and all of my symphonies in 24 parts
But I wanna be one today
centered and true
I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you.
Your raising the dead in me.
Chorus:
ooooo a oo oooo a oo
I am the second man
ooooo a oo oooo a oo
I am the second man now
ooooo a oo
I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me yeah
I wanna see miracles
to see the world change
wrestle the angel for more then a name
for more then a feeling
for more then a cause
I'm singin spirit take me up in arms with you.
and you're raising the dead in me
(chorus in background)
24 oceans
With 24 hearts
and all of my symphonies-in 24 parts
Life is not what I thought it was-24 hours ago,
Still I'm singin spirit take me up in arms with you.
Yeah I'm not coping out
not coping out
not coping out |
